The Centre for Society, Technology and Values (CSTV) is a unique University of Waterloo interdisciplinary centre that explores how we can answer these questions and more, in a series of Society, Technology and Values (STV) courses. As a core part of the Faculty of Engineering, STV courses are helping our engineering students come to grips with many of the major questions we face in a sophisticated technological society. You may have taken one of the STV courses when you were an engineering student but technological change is fast-paced and ever-evolving.

The Waterloo Engineering alumni class reunion in 2023 is taking place on June 3, 2023 at Alumni Weekend. The engineering Classes of 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018 are invited to campus to celebrate this milestone in their engineering career.

Engineering work has a huge impact on society - we know that in the general sense. However, it can sometimes be hard to really understand how seemingly small design decisions can end up causing huge waves. In conversation with a recent engineer alum with a PEng and JD and legal professionals from the Law Commission of Ontario, we will discuss how design decisions in information systems and artificial intelligence end up creating major issues that we as a society are still figuring out how to address - from both a legal and engineering perspective. We are delighted to have with us three amazing speakers:
